Thumbs up jeep diesel starting problem

hi all , not the best way to introduce myself but i have just bought a jeep that was dead , 2.5 diesel vm , the car had a head gasket/turbo problem and run on the oil, I bought the jeep with no battery,I rebuilt the heads and the turbo and put a new battery on it but when i tried to start it there was no power to the fuel solinoid on the diesel pump it starts with a hot wire ! I was just wondering if something needs re-sycing . Many thanks vin

So are you getting fuel or not? I can't really tell by what you posted.

Are the glowplugs getting warm?

Is the fuel good?
